Five-Story, 12-Unit Residential Building Filed At 715 Sixth Avenue, South Slope

The Brooklyn Home Company has filed applications for a five-story, 12-unit residential building at 715 Sixth Avenue, in South Slope, located five blocks from the 25th Street stop on the R train. The development will encompass 20,254 square feet and its residential units will average 1,275 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. The ground floor will include six parking spaces and the residential lobby, and a private rooftop terrace will top the structure. Brooklyn-based Loadingdock5 Architecture is the architect of record. The 100-foot-wide plot of land is currently occupied by a single-story warehouse and a two-story house. Demolition permits were filed for both in June of 2015.

Property owner Alma Realty Corp. has filed applications to convert the ground and second floors of the 14-story, 120-unit mixed-use building at 467-475 St. Marks Avenue, in western Crown Heights, located six blocks south of the Franklin Avenue stop on the C train. According to DNAinfo, the owners will be converting all of the vacant medical space to 13 residential units.

68-74 Trinity Place

25-Story Mixed-Use Office Building Now Planned At 68-74 Trinity Place, Financial District

Back during the summer of 2015, YIMBY brought you an update on the ongoing demolition of the five-story structure at 68 Trinity Place and the 25-story building at 74 Trinity Place, in the Financial District. Property owner Trinity Church has long sought to build a 500-foot-tall mixed-use condominium building at the site, but those plans have now been scrapped in favor of a 25-story, 145,000-square-foot mixed-use building with office space rather than apartments. According to The Real Deal, there will be 98,000 square feet of community facility space for the religious organization, fit with classrooms, a fitness center, a café, and meeting rooms. The office space will begin on the 10th floor. Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, who designed the latest residential proposal, will again be responsible for the design of the office plans.
